 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi All,
i've had a pair of Nordica SM8s (the blue ones) for around 7 years now, my first boots and we have had very happy times together (initially 2 x week hols, latterly just one/year)
i had bunion surgery 2 years ago and did consider new boots after this, but have an emotional attachment to my current ones. I'm wondering whether its time to rethink as Im going to Val Disere for new year. I ithnk i'm pronating generally in everyday life and think i may be doing this in my boots a bit since the op.
My OH had problems with his boots/foot cramping for several years and got surefoot boots/liners last year so thinks they are a great option- i'm a little  at the cost
soo options are;-
do nothing and see how i get on
get new insoles for current boots
get new boots here (i'm south manchester so S&R, EB or Rivington pike could be choices)
get boots in resort (expensive methinks)
thoughts please?

And are they worth new liners and a trip to a boot fittter?

Hi Pam
Last new year.. They felt quite different- room to rock my feet sideways/inwards a bit which I don't recall before

If your old boots are confortable & u like them, I'd hang onto them tbh. I might buy a new set of moulded insoles if you're passing a good value boot fitters sometime.

When I had insoles made for my boots I was amazed at how much difference it made to the fit and consequently my skiing. I was having difficulty with internal fit vs getting them tight enough as I have high arches and tightening the boots just started to flatten my feet out, mine are just basic heat formed type but they transformed the boots so I think very worthwhile.
